Proud to share that I’ve received the official Notice of Award for my R01 from NIH National Institute on Aging: a 5yr $4.6M project to develop and validate speech-based tools for early Alzheimer’s detection. Grateful for my collaborators and the support—and spread the word: I’m hiring a postdoc!

Our new paper in Epidemiology examines how timescale choice—study time vs. age—can influence estimates of exposure effects on memory change. Using data from 10 cohorts, we show how timescale decisions may shape findings and offer guidance for future cognitive aging research. doi.org/10.1097/EDE....
